TSM - Internet & Facebook Use |
Last week we issued children in Year 5 and 6 with letters explaining the issues with using Instagram and Facebook outside school. We highlighted that both sites are designed for children age 13 of over but pointed out that we were aware that some of children were still accessing these; some with permission from parents and some without. This week we will continue to discuss being safe when using these social media apps and if children are going to use them; how to ensure the privacy settings are set correctly and to understand that uploading information on the internet is like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube... its very difficult to take it back. So incredibly proud of Team TSM today at the school swimming gala. Despite being one of the smaller schools in the area we won the Felixstowe Swimming Gala in style! Everybody stepped up and swam so well. The children were supportive and the sportsmanship was in abundance. It means that our name appears again on the swimming shield, a competition that has only ever been won by one other school since it started ten years ago. Later on in the year, the school will select a team to travel to Bury St Edmunds because TSM will represent Felixstowe and compete any other area winners in the Suffolk Schools Finals. Well done everyone! Thank you to Mr Child for selecting a great team and teaching the children to swim over the years - our continued commitment to swimming has clearly paid off. The quality and depth of our squad was very high. Thank you to Mrs Matthews and Miss Rowe who supported the team and thank you Mrs Ross for organising the whole event for the Felixstowe School.
Advanced warning for Parents travelling to school via Bucklesham Road - Gas Main Works will close the road between 29.02.16 to 04.03.16 This afternoon Parents of year 4 and year 6 came into school to learn more about the way we teach grammar and punctuation in school. The children loved having the parents in school and enjoyed showing them that they actually knew more than them when it came to grammar. The parents were surprised at the high level that the children were expected to reach. However, they all left with a clearer expectation of the standards and levels expected. Thank you to those who attended. If you were unable to attend - do not panic! The class teachers have prepared a pack of resources that can be sent home.
